Instagram post 2246606694253592588_634449261 Birthday Cake Calories Don't Count.⁣ (Or that's what I keep telling myself.) 🎂🎉⁣ ⁣ Ordered this absolutely indulgent Chocolate Fudge cake from @armeenscakes , Mississauga for @planetonwheels 's birthday. And it was the most gooey, decadent and sinful slice of cake I've eaten in a long time. #NotSponsored #CakeMakesMeHappy⁣ ⁣ I did a bit of sleuthing around and found that @armeenscakes belongs to a Parsi family from Karachi and dates back to 1979. That makes me even happier!

Instagram post 2244457569475110153_634449261 Nothing in the world prepares you for the first time you see the Taj Mahal. And nothing in the world prepares you for the first time you fall in love with the man of your dreams. This is NOT a Valentine's Day post. This is simply a husband appreciation post. @planetonwheels , who cares about the destination when the journey with you has been so much fun?!
Instagram post 2242661333202036951_634449261 HOLY MOLY GUACAMOLE! What if I told you this double meat burrito bowl is 10 bucks?! (Swipe next for a closed look 👉) @guacmexigrill , Mississauga blew me over with their fresh ingredients and VFM pricing. Strongly recommended the next time you're craving some Tex-Mex! I'm going back for those loaded nachos and their fiesta potatoes. 🌯🌮🌯🌮

Instagram post 2236841291151408181_634449261 Happiest Around Books 📚 My resolution in 2020 is to read more and Netflix less! And the Mississauga Central Library is my new happy place - a treasure trove of books, audio books, reference material and more. As a new immigrant, your neighborhood library should be your go-to place. Apart from borrowing books and magazines, you can get printouts, surf the internet, attend lectures and network with other bibliophiles around you. #lifeofanewimmigrant #myimmigrantstory

Here you can customise your own meal - pick your choice of potato base, protein, cheese, veggies and sauce. Or else opt for their in house specials. In either case, fans of the humble potato are in for a treat!⁣⁣
Instagram post 2228873519500100242_634449261 Ｈａｐｐｙ Ｂｉｒｔｈｄａｙ Ｔｏ Ｍｅ 🎂🎉🎈⁣ ⁣ My very first birthday away from home. Birthdays and festivals are when homesickness can really hit you as an immigrant, and I was no exception. But this double chocolate cake from @pianopianotherestaurant really helped cheer me up!⁣ ⁣ We also had the most beautiful wood fired pizza last night that we had to cut ourselves using a scissor. Swipe right to watch @planetonwheels cut me a slice of 'birthday pizza'.⁣ ⁣ Once again, thank you for all the love and wishes you guys have shared from across the globe. Lots of love right back at ya!
Instagram post 2223793954221135887_634449261 #Throwback ~ This Time Last Year It's been six months since I've traveled. The first time in so many years that I've stayed put in one city for so long. But then again immigrating to Canada has been a journey in itself. Once a traveler, always a traveler. 🌍💞
Instagram post 2213615493384980899_634449261 I'm a recent fan of Mandi - a Yemeni dish made with rice and meat slow cooked with spices. Simple yet full of flavour! Have you had a chance to try Mandi out?⁣ ⁣ 📍: @mandiafanditoronto , Mississauga and East York
Instagram post 2212195044570480103_634449261 Goodbye 2019, you've been absolutely amazing to me! ⁣ 👋🎊 ⁣ I left the comforts of home to spread my wings and soar. We moved to Canada as permanent residents of the country and set up a life from scratch. I got licensed to practice as an audiologist in the state of Ontario. And most recently I found employment in my profession, doing work that makes me feel happy and fulfilled. ⁣ ⁣ Hello 2020, I cannot wait to see what you have in store for me! Hope you are just as kind. 🎉🎉

Has anyone used CBD oil here? I recently started using some to help with my anxiety. On both occassions, I've felt drowsy and sleepy. Is that normal?
